Andúmîr: Mornstar of Men

OK, this is my third fan fiction. I'm so excited! I actually spent some time planning this and yes I AM reading ROTK as we speak/write. This was inspired by the appendixes. Well, I stop rambling now and let me know what you think. Oh, and please, be kind, I know this will seem out of character at first, but it will get better, I promise!

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or any of the characters except for the ones I make up (and random household appliances)

Aragorn paced up and down the hall outside the birthing chambers. Faramir and Éowyn also stood in the halls, anxious for the arrival of Arwen's second child. Arathen, the firstborn had been taken to his nurse so the adults could have adult conversations. Finally, Éowyn broke the silence. "Aragorn, are you sure about this?" she asked.

Aragorn nodded; his face grim. "I could not be more. Arwen and I have decided this is the best choice of action." His statement referred to the news that had come nearly ten months ago. A messenger from Rohan brought news that Éomer had bee slain by Orcs and had no heir. Éowyn, being his sister now had to take the throne and become queen of Rohan. But there was another problem.

It was discovered that Éowyn could not have children of her own. This was the curse placed upon her since her encounter with the Witch-King. Arwen was now expecting her second child. In order to ensure that there would be an heir for Rohan (and according to an ancient custom long forgotten), Aragorn and Arwen decided to give their second child to Éowyn and Faramir.

Now the moment had finally arrived Arwen had been in labor for six hours now. The door opened and a midwife walked out with a bundle in her arms. "Well?" asked Faramir. "Are they alright?" The midwife smiled. "The mother is well and resting. I now present to you....A daughter." She handed the babe to Éowyn. Faramir and Aragorn leaned in close to get a look at her. "What shall her name be, Lord Aragorn?" Éowyn asked.

"Were she my own I would have named her Andúmîr Tindómiel. But now she is your child and must reflect her parents." Faramir and Éowyn looked at each other. "Then we shall name her Finduyn.

Ok, that was the first chapter. I would like to take this moment to tell you I DO know that Aragorn's son is named Eldarion, he comes later. I also know Éomer has the second longest rule in that history of Rohan and his son is Elfwine. Please bear with me, Read and review and all shall be explained. Until next time, May an Evenstar shine upon you.

P.S. I know this is short, but that is because I'm waiting for Justin"Battle-Writer" Bindel to write a battle scene for the prologue.
